Friday, March 18, 2011. Today I am grateful to know that a child who was labeled severely autistic was found later to respond to music, even though he was super senstive to sounds and would hold his ears when exposed to singing.
Of course every autistic child does not grow up to be a musical genius. That is not the point of this article.
I use music in my private practice (Baroque music, about 60 beats per minute) to help open the channels of learning for children with a large array of learning problems.
Sometimes the music is simply background music in a classroom that helps almost every child in that classroom to learn more easily and achieve more.
Thanks to those who know, and who have taught us, that music opens the mind and soul!

P.S. Here’s the book about Rex Lewis-Clack by his mother Cathleen Lewis:
Rex: A Mother, Her Autistic Child, and the Music that Transformed Their Lives – Hardcover (Oct. 28, 2008) byCathleen Lewis
P.S.S. Somebody told me that it is the “Ides of March” today. I know the reference is to Shakespeare and I do not know the full import of the phrase.
Can anybody “out there” give us some more information on the “Ides of March?”
